2020 LOGO CONTEST

Open to all CWCCA Members.

Did you know that Ohio lays claim to the title of “Birthplace of Aviation”? Orville and Wilbur Wright were Ohio natives and Dayton Ohio is where their design work and early experiments were done. For that reason the proposed theme for our 2020 National Specialty in Wilmington Ohio is “First In Flight”.

Ohio is also home to more astronauts than any other state as well as the home of one of the two largest Air Force bases in the US.

Coincidentally the first Cardigans in the US were imported to Ohio.

Are you artistic? Here’s you chance to show off your skills. Submit your drawing or artwork by January 5th. It need not be in its final form as adjustments will be suggested.

The 2018 PWCCA National Specialty was also held at Roberts Centre and used a corgi/biplane logo (pwccanational.com) and we suggest that you not make it too similar. Or If you have another idea for a really great Ohio logo it’s not too late to modify the theme.

Submit your entry (jpg preferred) to Suzie Geisler at suziegeisler@earthlink.net. E-mail Suzie with any questions or for a mailing address if you are unable to scan.

CWCCA ANNOUNCES A SECOND SCHOLARSHIP

From time to time the CWCCA makes charitable donations. The Board carefully considers different areas of charitable donations that also include pets, in particular dogs. At this time, the Board of the CWCCA has voted to give $2,500 to The AKC Humane Fund. This money is earmarked for Women’s Domestic Abuse Shelters that accept pets.

From The Humane Fund Website: “Women’s Shelters Grant: The AKC Humane Fund is proud to be the leading organization that provides financial assistance to domestic abuse shelters that accept pets. Our grants make it easier for women’s shelters to welcome pets and help break the cycle of domestic abuse. “

While the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi appear similar, they are in fact two distinct breeds that developed separately centuries ago in geographically distinct areas of Wales. They are part of the cultural heritage of Wales and each breed deserves to be preserved and protected like any cultural treasure.

One of the many breed characteristics that distinguish Cardigans from Pembrokes is color. Cardigans come in more colors including blue merle and brindle which have never occurred in purebred Pembrokes. Since canine geneticists have proven that both of these traits are dominant, it is virtually impossible for either color to suddenly appear in a litter of Pembrokes. Blue merle or brindle Pembrokes are a result of crossbreeding which is not condoned by the Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America or their members. These puppies are not purebred, are not eligible to be registered in the AKC Stud Book and cannot compete in AKC Conformation or Herding events.

The CWCCA is the parent club for the Cardigan Welsh Corgi breed and is a member of the American Kennel Club.

The Cardigan Welsh Corgi is one of the oldest known breeds. They are believed to have been in existence in Wales for over 3,000 years, and were first imported to the United States in 1932. Cardigans make a delightful companion as well as a working farm, show, or performance dog. We hope that you enjoy this site as you learn about our breed.
